117-14 Union Turnpike is a stunning property with features of different materiality throughout that has the structure stand out. Apart from the rest of the building, the existing fire escape terrace doors were found to be in extremely deteriorated condition. STONE scoped the replacement of the existing terrace doors with brand new ones to match the adjacent window trim, and an added transom for extra light penetration into the interior space.

STONE scoped the replacement of the existing fire escape terrace doors with new. The new doors allowed for additional heat retention within the apartments
Upon replacement of the new terrace fire escape doors, STONE also scoped the replacement of the locks and locking mechanisms for the doors to ensure privacy for the residents.
In addition to the terrace doors, new transoms for the doors were also installed to make up for the remaining height of the rough opening as well as to allow for more sunlight to penetrate the apartment.
